Participation in Sportpools is free. The only thing you need is a valid email address.
It is forbidden to participate in Sportpools with multiple accounts. A user can only create one account per email address. If we notice that a user has multiple accounts, all accounts of that person will be deleted.
Sportpools offers the possibility to battle with a group of people (friends, colleagues, family, etc.) in a subleague. A subleague can be public or private. A public subleague is accessible for everyone. A private subleague is secured with a password.
A participant can subscribe to an unlimited number of subleagues.
Note During the registration period of a game, you need to indicate in which subleagues you want to play. This can be all of your subleagues, but also a part of your subleagues. As long as the registration is still open and you have not scored points yet, you can indicate on the "My subleagues" page in which subleagues you want to play.
The score for a subleague is the same for all games. The score is determined by summing the five highest scores within a subleague.
You can win prizes by participating in promotional subleagues. With these subleagues Sportpools adheres to Dutch Code of Conduct for promotional games of chance .
Because of the existence of a sport totalisator, cash prizes are not allowed yet.
Sportpools offers the possibility to build a career per sport. All results of participated pools are tracked, this way you can find them back later.
Trophies
One of the goals of the game of Sportpools is to achieve as many trophies as you can.
Each game has his own unique trophy, which you gain by ending up in the top three of the overall standings.
The trophies can be found on your account page.
Career points
For each game you can earn career points. Career points are scored based on your performances (see rules per sport).
This way a career ranking can be determined per sport. After each game, we reduce career points earned in previous editions of the game by 10%. So past results are less important each year.
Besides the career ranking, a year ranking is made based on the career points scored in that year. These career points will reset at the beginning of the year.
If an athlete is caught of doping, earned points will NOT be diminished.
